It can be used by solar panels to give a direct output of electric power.
Or it can be used to make plants by photosynthesis, which uses the Sun's energy to break down carbon dioxide into carbon which is used for the plant tissues, and gives off oxygen. The plants can then be burned, which produces energy to drive an electric generator, and gives off carbon dioxide.
When the plants have time to turn into coal or oil (100,000,000 years) that is caused a fossil fuel.
Solar electric panels are made up of silicon, the same thing that makes up sand.
When sunlight hits a solar panel, it makes electrons in the silicon move around. The electrons flow through wires that were built into the solar panel and hey presto! - we have electricity!
Solar energy can produce electricity by the photo-voltaic process (Solar Cell) and can be produce via a heat engine process (Solar Thermal).
Well what I think is this:
The sun gives off heat and light, and like all energy this can be converted to a different type of energy, like electricity. The sun's energy (i think it's light) is captured by a solar panel connected to a solar cell. In solar power stations the solar panel channels the energy to a turbine. The turbine then spins a generator, which transforms the energy from light to electrical. Out of the generator comes electricity.
In solar powered calculators, the same happens only it's a lot smaller.
My science teacher told me this.
Solar panels require sunlight to generate electricity, so they will produce less or no electricity when there is no sun in the sky. However, some energy can still be generated on cloudy days as long as there is enough ambient light.
by wires <<>> Electricity is not a collectible commodity. It is generated and distributed as the demand requires. Small amounts of DC electricity can be stored in a capacitor but is not viable as an AC source. Electricity is distributed by wire conductors.
There are no items on that list that are used to generate electricity pictures.
it use to generate electricity
Tsunami is useful to generate electricity.
One way you can generate electricity from the sun is through a wind power plant.
We generate electricity from other forms of energy. Such as wind, sun, ect...
As long as they have the sun, they can generate electricity. So the Sun :)
Yes. The vegetation etc that is burnt to generate electricity needs the sun to grow.
They generate electricity when exposed to sun light suitably
rubbing two sticks together will generate a fire
Solar panels use the sun's energy to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect, where sunlight is converted into electricity using semiconductor materials. This renewable energy source is increasingly popular for powering homes, businesses, and even entire communities.

the turbines run due to the steam produced by sun.
Yes, they can be found in solar panels which obsord the sun for energy which can create both electricity and heat.
A solar panel is a device that spins when the sun shines on it to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect.
No, the sun does not directly produce electricity. Instead, solar panels use the sun's energy to generate electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. Solar panels convert the sun's light into electrical energy that can be used to power homes, buildings, and devices.
